What this amendment would do

SA 5086, submitted by Mr. Markey, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33. The purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on improving higher education opportunities for postsecondary students.

  • This amendment would allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to these education opportunities.

  • The amendment specifically mentions that this may include removing the annual or aggregate loan limits for Federal student loans for professional and graduate students that were set by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21).

  • A key requirement is that any such legislation must not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2026 through 2035.
